Hotmail and Outlook are both email services provided by Microsoft. Here's a brief overview of each:

Hotmail:

• It was one of the first free web-based email services and was popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
• Hotmail was acquired by Microsoft in 1997 and was rebranded as Outlook.com in 2012.

Outlook:

• Outlook is a personal information manager (PIM) and email client developed by Microsoft.
• It was first released in 1996 as a part of the Microsoft Office suite.
